I only see the polynomial x^2-36, so I'll factor that one.

We can use two approaches: the most "standard" one requires us to find the roots of the polynomial. Then, for each root x_i we write the factor (x-x_i), and decompose the polynomials like this:

x^2-36=0 \iff x^2 = 36 \iff x = \pm\sqrt{36} = \pm 6

So, the root 6 yields the factor (x-6), and the root -6 yields the factor (x+6). This means that the polynomial can be factored as

x^2-36 = (x+6)(x-6)

Alternatively, you can observe that the polynomial comes in the form a^2-b^2, and it can be factored as

a^2-b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)

which again leads to

x^2-36 = (x)^2 - (6)^2 = (x+6)(x-6)
